Great on a tropical carrot cake

Love this frosting. I used it without the added shredded coconut for the tropical carrot cake in Vegan with a Vengeance. Mine was still pretty gloppy and wouldn't pipe well, but I'm betting more time in the refrigerator would have fixed that.

Other Info

Yes, the coconut oil in this frosting makes it extremely sensitive to heat so it's best to take it out of the refrigerator and give it a whisk at 15 minute intervals until it's stiff enough to use. Thanks for sharing and glad it worked out!

"Organic sugar is not supposed to be made with bone char (See: http://www.vrg.org/journal/vj2007issue4/2007_issue4_sugar.php). Bone char is not considered organic, therefore organic sugar cannot be made with it. Now, sugar not labeled organic would not be considered vegan unless otherwise labeled."

"This turned out perfect, even though I thought I messed up the cashew cream and there was no hope! I only have one saucepan, so I figure I could microwave the cashew cream to heat it up, and it nearly solidified (side note: it would make a delicious warm whipped topping!). But I added it to my caramel anyways and it melted right down and turned out beautifully. I'll be making this again many times.
Also, I didn't leave myself enough time to pre-soak cashews, so I went straight to the simmering step with my raw cashews, and it worked just fine."

"Thank you so much for this recipe! I make and sell baked goods. I wanted to make my own vegan butter, as the store closest to me doesn't carry it and I thought it may be cheaper to make. To be honest, I thought it'd be fun to say I made the vegan butter myself as well :) I used the vegan butter in a chocolate frosting and it turned out amazing! I even like this frosting more than the non-vegan ones. I wish I could post a photo here. It was so light and fluffy. Even after 4 days , the frosting was still holding it's shape and very tasty! As for a few people on here mentioning a strong vinegar smell... I didn't get that. Are you sure that you put the right amount of vinegar..."
